SPIE

SPIE is a company in the technologies of optics and photonics based in Bellingham (Washington ), which were established in 1955. SPIE Europe was launched in 2001. They organize scientific conferences, industry exhibitions, and further training for researchers and developers in the light-based fields of physics, including, but not exclusively, in optics, photonics, and the image processing engineering. Best known for the SPIE Photonics West, the event takes place every year in San Francisco. SPIE promotes its activities and others, the development of imaging techniques, but also autonomous flying reconnaissance and combat drones.

The Company publishes refereed journals, conference proceedings, monographs, tutorial texts, guides, and reference books, both printed and digital. In 2012, the Company issued USD 3.3 million for charitable causes, such as the support of training events and outreach programs around the world.

Previous names

On July 1, 1955 SPIE was founded as the Society of Photographic Instrumentation Engineers in California, specializing in the application of photographic instruments. 1964, the name was changed formally in Society of Photo- Optical Instrumentation Engineers. 1977 moved the headquarters to Bellingham, Washington, USA in order and in 1981 the business under the business name ( DBA) were SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering unwound to keep up with the membership changing step. As of 2007, the DBA fell off and today the company is called simply SPIE. For an explanation of the company name and The International Society for Optics and Photonics will be used.

Mission Statement

The mission statement of SPIE is to help scientists and engineers working in industry, academia and government in a broad area that uses some aspects of optics and photonics - the science and application of light. More specifically, optics is a sub-branch of physics that examines the behavior and properties of light and its interaction with matter.

Photonics is the science and technology that deals with the production, and control of photons ( light particles). Individuals who are active in the company should conduct research and new technologies for the design and development of such technologies as semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, medical image processing, the development of future displays, military technology, entertainment, biometric security, image processing, communications, astronomy, and apply much more. SPIE has members around the world, including North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and offices in North America and Europe.

Particulars

President of SPIE since the beginning of 2013 William H. Arnold ( ASML U.S., Inc. ), Managing Director is Eugene G. Arthurs.

Publications

Spies first publication of SPIE newsletter was introduced in 1957. Published in 1959, the company her first book, the SPIE Photographic Instrumentation Catalog. The newsletter was transformed over time into the first journal of the society, which is under the name of Optical Engineering, the monthly flagship among Spies journals today. Over the years, SPIE has created a number of publications, including journals, magazines, newspapers, websites, and books. Today Spies offers open access offer to the SPIE Newsroom, the members magazine SPIE Professional, and selected book chapters and journal articles.

SPIE publishes:

  • Nine scientific, digital journals
  • SPIE conference proceedings with technical articles
  • SPIE Digital Library the over 400,000 digital Relevant articles from journals and conference proceedings contains - lectures from 1962 to today, and a year added 18,000 other lectures
  • SPIE Press, the scientific arm of the Society, published monographs, tutorial texts, guides and other books specifically for optics and photonics
  • SPIE Professionial, our digital and print magazine
  • SPIE Newsroom, a news website that uses 13 specialist groups in optics and photonics.

Scientific Journals:
